Import Tips

• Provide mill test certificate verifying carbon content between 0.25-0.6% by weight and exact diameter under 1.0 mm to avoid reclassification

• Declare plating material (e.g

• zinc) precisely; mismatches lead to audits under base metal coating provisions

• Ensure no 'further worked' treatments like polishing beyond plating, as per chapter notes, to prevent shifting to higher headings
